Please could you advise on the following :-

a) Which Company to use instead of Vi*g*n for my K 780 for Tel & Broadband

b) will I able to keep my email address & tel no.

Virgin is the best by far for broadband as for the kv780 chuck it in the bin useless piece of junk that

Get a decent box like a dm500c or dbox2 for cable or move to sat with hundreds of box options

Why advise somebody to aquire a box that 99.9% simply couldn't use on the cable network ?

There are very few, if any, publically accessible cardshare servers running for VM cable. KV/SV may not be perfect (no CS solution is) but you'd likely get far more viewing from these boxes than you would from the relatively useless dreambox option.

The sat option is probably a better overall option but even thats not without its problems.

For broadband, you could pretty much use any ADSL provider. CS uses relatively tiny amounts of bandwidth.

b) will I able to keep my email address & tel no.

If your using a VM email then you would lose it if you terminated the broadband account. Tel No, you should be able to migrate but I have known there to be problems, especially when the VM 'local' exchange is some distance away.

Note that if you terminate your broadband and dont have a TV contract with VM, then chances are they will physically terminate your connection, at which point the KV will cease to function. You must have an active cable feed to receive on a cable box.

Not too mention that it is very diificult to find a private share on cable c/s

I would suggest that you use a free Gmail or similar e-mail, then you are not tied to an ISP and can move ISP whenever you like without any e-mail hassles
